Baichung Bhutia sizzled on a starry night with a spectacular brace in the 'Goal 4 Africa' charity match between two all-star international teams at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Playing for the 'Edu' team under the captaincy of Dutch star Clarence Seedorf in number 30 white jersey, Baichung scored in the 28th and 68th minutes though for a lost cause as the Michael Ballack-led 'Cation' side won the match 9-6 at the Bayern Munich home ground late on Saturday night.
The match, the first event of a two-year programme aimed at raising 90 million Euros and inspired by Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela's dream of 'Education for all -- all for education', however, lost much of the sheen with several top international stars missing out of it.
Although it was just a charity match, but at least it brought Indian football into the limelight for the right reasons after ages!!! Well done Baichung!! It's a pity he'll be able to go on for only 4-5 more years...

And yes, if we want the condition of Indian Football and Hockey to improve, then we need to get rid of Das Munshi [the head of All India Football Federation] and KPS Gill [the head of Indian Hockey Federation].......They both suck......
